A Journey of Compassion and Commitment: Celebrating Milestones and Reflecting on Our Partnership with Mr. Groh
We are absolutely thrilled to congratulate Mr. Wolfgang Groh on receiving the “Bundesverdienstkreuz” (Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany)! Honestly, while him receiving the award might be new to the public, we’ve known for years just how deserving he is of such an honour. It’s an acknowledgment of his tireless dedication and his real commitment to making the world a better place, and we couldn’t be prouder to work alongside him. It’s a recognition we’ve all seen coming, and we’re so happy to see him finally receive it.
We’re also excited to embrace this chance to revisit the incredible years of collaboration we've had. It’s been a journey we truly cherish!
As we think about our partnership with Mr. Groh (President of the IFB e.V.), we’re filled with gratitude for all that we’ve accomplished together. Everything started with the support for the Bärenherz Kinderhospiz in Wiesbaden. The hospice does remarkable work for people with disabilities. Seeing the care and love they give to these families really hit us, and we’re just happy we could do our little part to help. Through this partnership, we were also introduced to Löwenmut, another amazing project within the IFB Stiftung. Their work in South Africa, creating a safe space and home for children, was something we knew we wanted to get involved with right away. When we first heard about their “Sonnenstrahl” (Sunray) project, we jumped at the chance to support it, funding the construction of the final Sunray, the Yalwa Ray.
November 14, 2023, marked a special day for all of us, as we celebrated the opening of Yalwa Ray. One of our team members was able to be there in person to represent us at the event, and witnessing the impact of our collective efforts was incredibly moving. This project was just one example of how much we’ve been able to achieve with Mr. Groh, and it’s a reminder of why we’re so passionate about what we do.
Looking back on our work with Mr. Groh, it’s hard to put into words just how much we’ve accomplished together. From raising funds for the “Babyklappe”, a safe place where parents can anonymously leave their newborns, to organising charity events and volunteering at children’s hospices, every single effort has had such a meaningful impact. But more than the projects, it’s the sense of connection and shared purpose that makes everything we do so special.
And while we’ve already accomplished so much together, we’re far from finished! Our most recent project is something we’re incredibly excited about: through two charity sports events in 2024 that we organised, where our team members literally sweated for a good cause, we were able to raise enough funds to buy a car for the Löwenmut hospice in South Africa. Additionally, we’re funding ergotherapy sessions for the children in their care. This project is currently in progress, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see the positive change it will bring.
If you want to dive deeper into each project, have a look at our other blog posts – we’ve got plenty more details to share. Also: stay tuned for the branded vehicle – we can't wait to show you more!
With all that being said, congratulations again to Mr. Wolfgang Groh! This award is more than well-deserved, and we’re so proud to be part of this journey with you. Here’s to many more milestones and moments of success in the years ahead!
